Free Download

BootXChanger will allow you to change the boot image (the gray Apple) on Mac OS X 10.4, 10.5 and 10.6.

BootXChanger will not change the background colour of the boot screen, so the background of your images must be the same (#BFBFBF). This is done so it won't spoil the spinner animation.

For the same reason, there is a limited number of colours your image can use. If your image has too many, it will be reduced and probably look ugly. If this happens, you can try saving the image in GIF or PNG-8 with Photoshop, and making sure it uses 100 colours or less.

On Intel Macs, it's even worse: images have to be compressed to fit in the boot file. If your image doesn't fit because it is too complex, BootXChanger will show a message and you won't be able to apply it.

Limitations in the unregistered version

  • You can't change the background colour, it's #BFBFBF.
  • Use an image with less than 100 colours.
  • On Intel Macs, use simpler shapes or smaller images.

What's new in BootXChanger 2.0:

  • No more limitations for images
  • Can change background colour
  • Intel only
